Anyone hauling bulk products with an end dump in the Northeast?

your quote says end dumps are full, quarter, or frameless.

and as for the pic that dougknot posted. is that not a end dump on a frame???

and would this not be an end dump without a frame?

 

Do you have any big metal/Alum/Glass recyclers up in ME, that you could haul back down?

 

Yes your correct. The quarter-frame, full-framed end-dumps allow the tandems to stay on the ground. The bucket is connected at the rear to the frame, and pivots there.
Full Frame and Quarter Frame End-Dumps









Frameless End-Dump (mine)

 

around here, frames don't exist. all end dumps are frameless. and they'll haul anything you want.

 

I will have to look into that. What we are doing now we mainly run to Northern VT, Central CT, and PA. I have been browsing www.bulkloadsnow.com and made a few connections and things look fairly promising. Still trying to work a deal on this frameless trailer so we will see where that goes. If anyone else has any ideas on where to look, I am all ears. Thanks

 

You could probably find some sort of recycling material to haul from the Northeast down to Pittsburgh area (I'm guessing) I know from the South, they haul alot up there to PIT or Indiana, then load grain back south.

 

so, last week in denver. delivering to a water treatment plant being built. they had framed end dump type trailers. first time i actually saw a frame. but instead of being an end dump. these had belts with a door in the back. they were hauling dirt.

first time i've ever seen that type of trailer. what are those called and what do they normally haul? cuz i can't see dirt being a usually hauling material. or only hauling material.

 

They're called farm beds or belt trailers, I used to pull one. Hauled a lot of potatoes, sand, grain, landscape bark, corn silage, and manure in it.

 

You hardly ever see any frameless up this way. (New England) I think it's a peace of mind thing. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, New York and I'm sure a few others allow a lot more gross weight on "reducible loads" such as aggregate or liquid. In Mass. and Rhode Island we run 99,000 lbs. plus 4% tolerance on five axles. The general consensus between us local New England guys is a frame trailer is probably gonna hold up better plus might be a little more stable putting that kind of weight in the air. We make up for the extra weight of the frame with shorter trailers since bridge laws are out the window with the permits. Maine and New Hampshire will allow 100,000 lbs. on 6 axles. Regular tractor with a tri-axle trailer seems to be the normal set-up up there. I run a 379 with a 63" bunk, 3/8" frame 275" wb with 40K rears and an old 1994 Ti-Brook 28' Aluminum body, steel frame. 5 axles total. I can haul 34 tons.
